As with the old Missa Brevis, so too nowadays it's not strictly necessary to set the Credo to fresh music. |
The term missa has come to imply a 'mission', because at the end of the Mass the congregation are sent out to serve Christ. |
Each day is a festival unto them, who diligently heed the claustral proverb, De missa ad mensam. |
For the Mass the rule is that there are six lights at High Mass, four at a missa cantata, and two at private masses. |
The Missa Choralis was written by Franz Liszt in 1865 while he was in Rome. |
The concert includes Mozart's Requiem, Missa Brevis, operatic arias and music for the Christmas season. |
